Recording Vocals


Hi there,

I'm using Cool Edit Por and mic-ing my amp in order to record. Well, I was farting around last night, and I was recording a cover tune. Not a Van Halen one, so don't get too excited. [img]images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

Anyway, I'd recorded 6 tracks last night, 2 with my Wolfgang, left and right channels, 2 with my Ibanez, left and right channel, 1 with the Wolfgang as a sort of atmospheric fill, and the final 1, again with my Wolfgang as the main guitar riff.

Quite pleased with how this was working out, I decided to record the vocals. Just to see if I had got the song structure right. I was just going to use the same crappy P.C. mic I have. So I play the stuff I've recorded through the speakers, and I sing through the microphone.

Found two problems with this
  1. Microphone kept picking up my breathing. Really annoying
  2. It also picked up what I'd already recorded, which added a really annoying delay effect to everything
Any ideas on how to eliminate these two. I'm guessing that if I just use headphones to play the stuff back and stand back from the microphone, then I will eliminate these two factors, but wondering if you guys have any words of wisdom...

?

Thanx in advance...
